Important Seasons Upcoming for Bowden and Lowrie For all the talk about 2010 being a “bridge” year, it looks more like the team is building a new Boston skyline than a bridge over troubled water. With three big free agent signings already in the books and more...

Bowden has lost a bit of his “prospect” status, but he was ranked very high on lists just last year. He continues this year at Minor League Ball being ranked fifth on the Red Sox with a B Grade. He has a comparison of Jeff Suppan, but that is still very...

Two of the Red Sox’ biggest prospects, Michael Bowden and Josh Reddick, had less than stellar seasons in 2009. While the pair still remain tremendous talents, it has now become more difficult to see either one in the Sox’ future plans, due in part to their...

In our versions of an offseason blueprint the Red Sox could follow (1, 2, 3) one topic that came up fairly often was how realistic or unrealistic our proposed trade packages were for certain players. Let’s recap: Mike Lowell, Casey Kotchman, Clay Buchholz and...

After pitching 2 1/3 innings of relief just last night, the Red Sox were not asking for extended innings from Michael Bowden on Monday night. Unfortunately, seven hits and seven runs over three innings wasn’t quite what they had in mind. It was the rain that...

GAME NOTES: Josh Beckett has been scratched with mild back spasms with Michael Bowden taking his place. We looked so good going into October: a great bullpen, a good 1-4 rotation and a clicking offense. Now? Our top two pitchers are hobbled and our offense looks feast...

I’m on the Rotoworld.com beat, and this just came across my desk: Bob Elliot of the Toronto Sun reports that the Red Sox offered the Blue Jays six pitchers for Roy Halladay at the trading deadline. The names: Daniel Bard, Michael Bowden, Clay Buchholz, Felix...

A lot happened in Red Sox Nation this past weekend. Instead of wondering, let’s get into the gritty details. -Sox Drop Two of Three in Texas The Sox dropped two games to the Rangers. Yeah, it’s too bad. The Sox stand one game back of Texas in the Wild Card...

When injuries arise, solutions aren’t always easy to come by. So with Wakefield and Daisuke sidelined, and with the Red Sox hesitant to promote Michael Bowden, there may not be many of those “solutions” available. Yet, I shall try. But Brad Penny...

It’s a slump. That’s it. That has to be it. Mayday! Mayday! We’re going down… aren’t we? Sometimes it’s difficult to tell the difference between a slump and a freefall. When given the choice, you always root for the slump, because,...
